Aw man, I had my heart set on not getting this, as I already spent money on 3 NSMB games and didn't want more and more of something I already had, but these new additions sound really nifty. Maybe sometime down the road...

No Tekken for me, but two or three Tales characters would be kinda cool and fit well enough, imo. I don't even want to know what kind of licensing hell would have to be experienced in order for them to put anything Gundam-related in, though.

It's really sad when a fanbase is so bad that a higher-up has to point this out. But, this is a problem with any long-lasting fanbase. It's doing what you can to support the company even through the disappointments, and focusing on the positive, that determines your future experience, imo.

Great! Hopefully this'll ease the load on Sakurai a bit, he's probably being worked ragged to get the project going. Would be cool if there was a few Namco guest characters in there, too, I would love to have some Tales in my Smash Bros.
